Working with DVD Architect

Now that I'm finally ready to turn this project into a DVD, I'm following some of the downloaded tutorials that I got from YouTube to walk me through the process. Unfortunately the best of the tutorials I downloaded was shot with a camera onto the PC monitor, which is causing some slight glare and distortion of the text. The instructor is using 4.0. I'm using 5.0. His screen view as with the other tutorials all have a window on the right side of the preview window that I don't have. So I can't access the controls in that section.

I got up as far as inserting the play button. Now I'm trying to link it to the movie. In the video, the instructor opened a menu from that window on the right side of the program that I don't have on my screen. I can't read the name of the window or submenu and he doesn't say how to get there, just what to do when you get in. So I'm stuck.

Can you guys tell me how to find that window in 5.0 and link the video to the play button?

Hey Key!

See if this helps.



Its a quick tutorial: only about 31/2 minutes. I refer to it often when making a DVD. I don't make enough DVD's to remember how to do it. hehe

Hope it helps man.

KeyofG, please post the link to the tutorial you're referring to so that we can see what the instructor's layout looks like as it may have been customized.
If that is the case, we can tell you how to get yours set up to resemble it.

Thanks Jon,
I've actually already downloaded this one. I JUST looked at it and his screen shot is a lot clearer than the other guys. He is also using 4.0 so he has that same window on the right hand side. It says MENU PAGE PROPERTY. I found that window in 5.0. It looks completely different than the one in 4.0. But I think I'll be able to continue now. Thanks for your help.

Ok, I'm stuck again. My Menu Page Properties (5.0) does not have the background tab that is present in the 4.0 version. The video plays with the AC-3 soundtrack and I can jump from scene to scene in the preview window. So that's all good. BUT, when I entered the video, my background folder went blank. So my front page is just black.

How do I get to the front page to check my backgound and scene selections in the preview window?
